The experienced team at the Bureau is committed to providing you with the best possible advice and we will be there to help every step of the way.

The Rhythms of the Rainforest

Heart to heart with Orangutans

What does it feel like to save Borneo’s most endangered species? The orangutan, or ‘people of the forest’ is a much-loved international icon of the rainforest. Try out a day in the life of the unsung heroes who sacrifice time and effort to bring these gentle giants of Borneo’s forests back from the brink of extinction.

Get down and dirty with the orangutan keepers at Matang Wildlife Centre and share a day of joy with these intelligent, soulful animals which were once found in abundance throughout Sarawak. Today, the only viable wild populations are found in Batang Ai National Park and Lanjak-Entimau Wildlife Sanctuary.

At Matang, most of these apes were saved from a life of misery and death in the illegal wildlife trade. Be part of the conservation effort. Have a heart to heart with an orangutan at Matang Wildlife Centre.

Matang is a rehabilitation centre for wild animals that have either been surrendered or were confiscated from illegal wildlife markets. The Sarawak Government prioritizes wildlife conservation in the wild and condemns all manner of wildlife trade.

Kayaking in a Rainforest or Ocean Paradise

Beyond the jungles, Sarawak is a land of rivers and oceans. It is not enough for adventurers to trek around on land and foot, journeys through this land cannot be complete without a sojourn through its waters.

Paddle along rivers, through river mouths and out into the South China Sea. Get up close to ancient rock cliffs; glide along waters so clear that you can count the number of pebbles at the bottom. You will get a chance to take a peek at wild proboscis monkeys perched on their treetop dwellings. Need more adrenaline?

Then shoot some rapids with trained guides or push through breakwater to kayak with dolphins in the open ocean. For the truly adventurous, take a paddle out to estuaries and see if you can spot crocodiles in their native habitat. Kayaking adventures can be as mild or as tough as you want them to be, for your safety. Professional kayakers lead every expedition. Stop by pebbly nooks or secluded beaches for a picnic before heading on to your next stop.

Fancy an overnighter? Camp out or sleep under the stars. Ponder the milky way under the velvety night sky. There are no artificial lights or disturbances to interrupt your commune with nature here.

End your kayaking expedition with a seafood dinner at a beachfront restaurant or a pamper at a beach resort. Kayaking adventures are perfect for groups of 8 to 40 people. Get an expedition tailor-made for your group after your conference or event.

Rythms of the Rainforest

From humble beginnings over 10 years ago, the Rainforest World Music Festival has earned international acclaim and recognition for blending the best of world music with a gig in the jungles of Borneo. Rock to the rhythms of the world in a backdrop of Old World Rainforest at the foothills of Mount Santubong.For two days and three nights, world-class musicians from four continents play to their hearts content to an international audience at the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV). Sway to the rhythm in the midst of a floodlit rainforest setting during the concerts at night.

During the day, be part of the in-crowd that throngs the special music workshops held by the musicians themselves. Simultaneous workshops are held in each of SCV’s traditional houses, be it the longhouse, the Orang Ulu house, the baruk, the Malay and Melanau houses, or the Chinese farmhouse. This is where the audience get a chance to rub elbows and jam with the stars.

Fancy a private concert? Arrangements can be made for the visiting musicians to perform for your group, or conduct a special workshop just for your guests. Groups can stay in any of three international beach resorts in the area. The Rainforest Wold Music Festival rocks Sarawak every second weekend of July.

The Sarawak Regatta – Racing Sarawak Style

The Sarawak Regatta is an annual event to behold. Envision this: the Sarawak River brimming with longboats, traditional war-boats, water-taxis, dragon boats, modern kayaks; rowboats of all colours, make and design, all for one purpose – to race each other in the name of unity and fun.History tells of warring tribes who fought each other to the death over territory, pride and historical enmity. To divert such lusty energy away from violence, the colonial authorities created a river race of war boats or longboats, and made it an event of peace and to celebrate the rowing prowess of the different tribes.

Thus was born the Sarawak Regatta, forever an important part of Sarawak culture for its role in ending tribal hostilities and bringing harmony to Sarawak. The first official record of the Regatta was in 1871 in Kuching. Since then, this has become an annual event. Today, new categories of rowboats have been added to the races, but the most eye-catching categories remains the traditional dragon boats and war boats races.

Teams from overseas are most welcome to sign up for the races in the Sarawak Regatta. Conference delegates may represent country, club, creed, or simply in the name of adventure. Each longboat requires 20 paddlers. The Sarawak Regatta is held in August every year.
